【答案解析】[听力原文] M: Hi. I have a reservation for tonight. My name is Charles Nelson. W: Okay. Mr. Nelson. That's a room for five under your name. M: No. No. Hold on. There must be some mistake. W: Okay. Let's check this again. Okay, Mr. Charles C. Nelson for tonight... M: Ah. There's the problem. My name is Charles Nelson, not Charles C. Nelson. You must have two guests under the name. W: Okay. Let me check this again. Oh. Okay. Here we are. Charles Nelson. A room for one for the 19th... M: Wait, wait! It was for tonight. Not tomorrow night. W: Hum. Hum. I don't think we have any rooms for tonight. There's a convention going on in town, and uh, let's see. Yeah, no rooms. Well. We do have some rooms under renovation with just a roll-away bed. None of the normal stuff like a TV or working shower or toilet. M: Ah madam. Come on. There must be something else. W: Well. Let me check my computer here. Ah! There has been a cancellation for this evening. A honeymoon suite is now available. M: Great. I'll take it. W: But I'll have to charge you two hundred fifty dollars for the night. M: Ah. Madam. I should get a discount for the inconvenience. W: Well. The best I can give you is a ten percent discount plus a ticket for a free continental breakfast. What was the first problem with the man's reservation? 男士在入住酒店时,遇到了一系列难题:首先,他自报家门时,服务员把他和另一个同名同姓的人搞混淆了;其次,他原订的这一天的房间没有了,第2天才有房间;第三,其他房间也都已订满,只有正在装修中的临时房。本题问他遇到的第1个问题,故选A。本对话前面开头部分一直在说人名。听到有关name,mistake,problem,have two guests under the name即可确定答案。
单选题
【正确答案】
C
【答案解析】[听力原文] Why was it hard to get a room that day? 女士在解释房子紧张的原因时说,“我想我们今晚是没房子了。城里正在开一个会……”conference即convention之义,故C正确。A、C句型一致,区别在conference和marathon(马拉松长跑)上;B“几乎所有酒店都在翻修”显然不合常理:D中的时间在对话中未提及。
单选题
【正确答案】
C
【答案解析】[听力原文] What do we know about the rooms under renovation in the hotel? 女士在说到客房全部订满时,提到酒店倒是有一些在装修的客房,里面只有一张折叠床,没有像电视或可使用的洗手间这样的正常配套,可见选C,同时可排除B和D。预读选项时,根据A和B可知them和They 指的是rooms,听音时要留意某种客房的相关信息。
单选题
【正确答案】
B
【答案解析】[听力原文] What did the man get finally? 女士查到有人取消订房,那是一个蜜月套房,每晚需250美元。男士表示要住这个套房,但要求打折。女士说:“我最多给你打9折,另外再免费送一张欧洲大陆式早餐用餐券”。可见男士最后得到的是以225美元住一晚蜜月套房,并获得免费西式早餐。故B正确。
